Tangerine Juice

Synopsis

Tangerine Juice is the tale of a lonely, video shop owner (Dylan) who, whilst falling in love with a regular customer to his shop (Mary-Jane), wins a lifetime supply of tangerine juice. But when his lack of confidence gets the better of him, and he is unable to speak to her, tangerine juice seems the perfect way to drown his sorrows. Of course, as with any addiction, there are consequences. In time he turns orange. To his surprise, Mary-Jane finds this a turn on, noticing that he now bares a striking resemblance to her crush, the Hollywood legend, George Hamilton. Tangerine juice seems to be the answer to his dreams.

My Little Blue Heart My Little Blue Heart

Director: Iqbal Mohammed

Year: 2026

In a near future in rural Britain, Mustafa cares for his deaf sister, Amna, spending their days together in their hidden, isolated home. One morning, anti-immigration vigilantes descend, tearing them apart and leaving each to navigate fear, loss, and the quiet brutality of a world shaped by far-right policies. Amna escapes and searches for her brother, moving through the fields with determination, only to witness a horrific event. A meditation on family, the unbreakable ties between siblings, and the devastating cycles of violence that fracture lives. Against the backdrop of systemic oppression, the film explores how hate divides families, how love endures, and how the human heart persists even in the face of destruction.
